Meet your hostess at La NUEVA Casa de María

María was born in a small village in the mountains south of the city of Oaxaca, where the women are famous for their beauty - morenas de ojos verdes. It is an area where many Europeans settled to direct the work in the mines and to raise families locally. On the death of her father when she was two months old, María, her mother and sister came to live in the city. Eight years later she lost her mother and was raised by the nuns and educated in Oaxaca and in Mexico City. She returned to Oaxaca where she married at the age of seventeen, honeymooning in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec where she was photographed in the traditional dress of the Tehuana.

Compensating for the early loss of her parents, María is the proud mother of three handsome sons, all married and with children, making her a happy grandmother several times over. She considers herself extremely fortunate to have such a wonderful close-knit family.

Now that her children have left the nest and the next generation is maturing, María has turned the family home over to her youngest son and his family. She is now realizing her dream of a smaller one story house surrounded by lush gardens that she refers to as her Garden of Eden. Located in the Centro Histórico just 40 meters from the Tourist Walk and one block north of the Santo Domingo Cultural Center, la NUEVA Casa de María Bed and Breakfast was constructed very simply but with many touches of luxury. There are three rooms/suites where it is her very great pleasure to receive guests from all parts of the world. Her personal attention and care make a stay in Oaxaca a very special and memorable occasion. Let her welcome you to La NUEVA Casa de María for an experience you will never forget.
